on facebook. >> outgoing budget senate committee chairman kent conrad said a budget plan would likely total five the with trillion. this said raising the medicare eligibility age and changing the payment formula for social to draw benefits could be part of the final deal. senator conrad's remarks on "the wall street journal" ceo council meeting are about 25 minutes. >> mimi -- maybe the only constructive conversation has been a group of senators called the gang of six. we invited all of them but due to very -- various conflicts, we got one, so we what ask him to carry the whole burden of the six today -- senator kent conrad and who will be interviewed. senator conrad has been budget committee chairman and is retiring at the end of the year. great to have you here. >> good to be here. >> why don't we go back to the questions that will pick up on the first question david asked -- just the context and give a sense of the mood of the business community. do you believe there will be some sort of constructive deficit deal in congress before the end of the year? only one-third think yes, ted -- tw

through june 30th, 2013. >> thank you. for this item we have conrad delrusario. >> thank you. my name is conrad delrusario from economic crimes office in san francisco, currently overseeing many units. a particular one is a real estate fraud, as well as mortgage grant. we previously had mortgage and investment grant funded by the federal government that had just recently expired. this is grant presented by the attorney general's office as a result of a settlement with countrywide loan or countrywide bank several months ago, if not a year ago. the grant is specifically targeted toward assisting our office in developing and maintaining specialized prosecutors and investigators -- sorry, singular. specialized prosecutor and investigator in area of dealing with mortgage fraud and associated type crimes. san francisco is a city that is very rich area for purposes of these type of frauds and scams to occur. notably the landscape encompasses people that own a lot of property or people that own property that's real estate value have appreciated. there's a lot of equity and people that purchas

democrat, senator kent conrad of north dakota. and the glitter of silver-- it's up over 20% this year. we go digging for the outlook on precious metals for the year ahead. that and more tonight on nbr! the path away from the fiscal cliff is neither straight nor smooth. talks hit a snag today as both republicans and democrats traded verbal fire over who goes first. republicans said they'd offered up new tax revenues, but have heard nothing from democrats about spending cuts. democrats said republicans were dragging their feet. we begin with darren gersh reporting even a visit by treasury secretary timothy geithner did little to change the mood on capitol hill. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner emerged from his sit- down with the president's negotiating team to declare he was disappointed. two weeks after the election, the speaker said democrats have yet to show what he called "adult leadership." >> right now, all eyes are on the white house. the country doesn't need a victory lap, it needs leadership. it's time for the president and congressional democrats to tell the american people

a compromise. republican senator bob corker and congressman tom price. democratic senator kent conrad and congressman chris van hollen. plus, president obama looks ahead to a second-term while republicans look to regroup. we'll ask our sunday panel about what both sides need to do moving forward. all right now. on "fox news sunday." and hello again from fox news in washington on veterans day. when we honor the military for their service to our nation. we begin today with a dramatic fall from grace of one of the most respected military men of this generation. c.i.a. director and retired four-star general david petraeus stepped down friday after admitting to an extramarital affair. joining us now to discuss that and upcoming hearings on the deadlyer thor attack in libya is the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, dianne feinstein. welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thank you, chris. >> chris: in a statement you said you understand petraeus' decision to resign but you wish president obama had not accepted that. after more revelations this weekend, do you still feel that way?

. is this a sign that talks are being accelerating or hitting stumbling blocks? joining me now senator kent conrad. sir, great to have you here. we showed the headline at the top of the show, from politico, the fiscal framework emerging. are the contours of the deal really taking shape? you heard kristen welker saying the description of that phone conversation may not have been so curt as originally quoted. >> truth is, i don't know. because i've not been involved in those direct discussions. what i did know is in talking to colleagues, democrats and republicans, there is a growing sense that this has to be done, needs to be done in the national interests and that it will get done. so i'm encouraged by what i'm hearing in terms of the tone of comments from my colleagueses. >> so you talk about the tone of colleagues from the left, but also on the right, tom cole took heat from john boehner and others in the gop for urging his party to go along with the president's tax plan. take a listen. >> i told tom earlier in our conference meeting that i disagreed with him. >> i think this is a minority posit

kent conrad of north dakota. >> susie: senator can rad thank you for joining us. let me begin our conversation by asking you, what are the chances that we will get a fiscal cliff deal by the end of this year? wince think they're reasonably good. all the building blocks are in place. at this point really people just have to choose from the options that are available. and it's hugely consequence for the country if we fail. so i remain opposite sdns-- optimistic. >> we heard dramatic sound bites when do we start rung out of time and risk going over the cliff? how much time dow need to get an agreement? >> well, realistically, if an agreement were reached in the next several weeks there would be time to get all of the language put together to have it implemented. so there is still significant time to get this agreement reached. >> as you know house speaker boehner was calling on democrats today to propose specific spending cuts to entitlement programs. we foe that the white house is proposing around $300 billion in cuts to medicare is that all the program can take or are republicans r

intelligence committee microphone. this is senator conrad from north dakota, the democrat on the committee. let's listen to what he has to say. >> what is very clear is that ambassador rice used the talking points that intelligence committee had all signed off on. that is very, very clear. she used the unclassified talking points that were signed off on by the entire intelligence community, so criticisms of her are completely unwarranted. that is very clear. >> are you able to say whether the cia thought it was a terrorist act within the first 24 hours and did it include al qaeda? >> i don't think i should respond to that question because of the questions of classification. again, what is very clear is ambassador rice used the unclassified talking points, the unclassified talking points that the entire intelligence community had signed off on. so she did completely the appropriate thing. now, there are other things that are classified. that's a totally different subject. i can't talk about that. >> general petraeus contradicted anything that you heard yesterday? >> look, general petraeus as dir

certified by senator conrad, the chairman of the budget committee and his staff. it plainly as often is the problem, spends more than the budget control act allows to be spent. chairman conrad, as i said, has agreed to that. number two now this is the fourth bill brought before this senate by the majority leader in the last 15 months that violates the budget. the fourth time. this is a time in which our country has never faced a more serious systemic budget crisis. we're on an unsustainable course and we know that. one of the things we need to do is figure out a way to constrain ourselves, and the budget control act was a step in that direction. to raise the debt limit august a year ago we spent borrowed all the money we could borrow. and to raise the debt ceiling the debt limit the budget control act was passed. it limited spending. that was all part of deal to raise the debt ceiling. these violations of the budget control act lower respect of the senate by the american people. it hurts our nation because it impacts our debt situation and our spending. and it cannot be justified. it

and conrad house is a project. the examples of the type of work are really very individual to each site, but a lot of it is for commercial office laguardias, commercial overhead lighting and a lot of it is changing their lighting for a new led project. in addition, there is lots of several kind of therm projects or natural gas projects that are included. in this next round. the last time i came before this committee there was an interest in understanding better our geographic representation of where historically the department has provided incentives and i provided the committee members -- and if i could have the overhead. this represents the example of the various programs that the department has had throughout the existence of these programs. the bulk of our programs are for commercial, and large multi-family housing units. and gives you just a sense of the projects and where they have been throughout san francisco. not only have businesses and residents saved money from these programs and we have had the positive benefits on the environment in terms of greenhouse gas reductions. but

, managing partner at the conrad group, an emerging markets investment advisor about what the new leaders need to do. one of the things that they need to do is taking the reform and building the institution so they ne a robust healthcare system and education system. therthere is a growing inequaliy between rich and poor in china and that is a grave concern for the new leadership. >> the outgoing president 'senet corruptions that you haven't heard from a chinese leader. saying "combatting corruption is a major political issue" how big of an economic issue is it. they are going to lose faith in the government and you can see somwide scale issues coming about. the question is can they tackle corruption and they have not been successful yet. $120 billion has left the country in graft. it filters through to the provinces and it's a big issue. >> are you looking at china puta significant barrier to foreign investment? >> you can't do business inchi . they have to be connected to the chinese government. it leaves american companies a a bit edgy. >> let's talk about the newleade announced as the

are not necessarily pleased. conrad sun does this report from the preferred stock exchange. >> this is the last large company to come out with their third quarter earnings report a and despite the fact that this earning eport looked great, investors have been selling shares in large amounts. they believe they're planning a huge takeovers which means they currently plan to spend a lot of money instead of giving this money to the shareholders in the form of a dividend. all in all, this turning season was a disappointment. they're talking a lot about cost cutting and have very little to say about how they want to make a profit again and with their core businesses. >> let's take a quick but at some of the numbers. down 0.3% and down almost 1.5% down to 2437. the dow jones is currently up just a tad and the euro is trading a $1.27 20. it is the biggest criminal fine in history. bp has agreed to pay $4.50 billion for their role in the 2010 gulf of mexico oil spill. >> there have been many cases against bp and their employees in what has been the worst offshore oil spill ever in the u.s. some business owner

like ray conrad. >> we're glad to get with it for security reasons. also getting in the way of the wires overhead. >> this time around, the option of chopping down the trees is off the table. the city is notifying hundreds of homeowners they must care for the foliage. scott weiner says that is not fair. >> one possibility is to have a parcel tax that would require the city to take back all responsibility for tree maintenance. >> unless some revenue stream is found, the city plans to turn over 23,000 trees to property owners in the next seven years. >> developing news in mountain view where two 17-year-old boys and 23-year-old man is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. they say it happened last night. investigators say they were all drinking when the three young men assaulted the young teenage girl. no word on where the victim lives. >> residents of a palo alto neighborhood are concerned over a fourth sexual assault. latest attack happened early this morning in an apartment near the stanford shopping center. a man broke in and tried to rape a woman who was slee

senator and congressman tom price and democratic senator ken conrad. plus president obama looks ahead to a second term while republicans look to regroup. we will ask our sunday panel about what both sides need to do moving forward all right now on "fox news sunday." >> hello again from fox news in washington on veteran's day when we honor the military for their service to our nation. sadly we begin with a dramatic fall from bragrace of one of th most respected military men of this generation retired four star general and cia director general petraeus stepped down after admitting to an extra marital affair. to discuss that and the deadly terror attack in libya is the chairman of the senate committee diane finestein senator. welcome to fox news sunday. in a statement you said you understand petraeus's decision to resign but you wish president obama had not accepted that. after more revelations this weekend do you still feel that way? >> i talked to day petraeus twice on friday. he said to me, i have done an egregiously dishonorable thing and i need now to do the honorable thing. when i

. >> and the democratic senator kent conrad says there's renewed interest in a cap. and the 750 billion dollars in revenue from the cap would approach the take from the rate increase on the wealthy and congress and the president's budget office put that at 825 to 850 billion and the president adds in other things. >> it's very difficult to see how you make up that trillion dollars if we're serious about deficit reduction just by closing loopholes and deductions and the math tends not to work. >> if the deduction cap were lowered to 25,000, close to 1.4 trillion, but also people making less than 250,000. but that leaves a huge area of potential agreement on a cap somewhere between 25 and 50. which could satisfy the demands of both sides. chris? >> jim, thank you. stocks finished in the black today. the dow gained 46, the s & p with 6 1/2 ahead and nasdaq was up 16. we will go boldly where no grapevine has ever gone before a bit later. up next, are these the final days for a classic american snack? her long day teaching the perfect swing begins with back pain and a choice. take advil, and maybe have to take

information which is in the classified realm. >> senator conrad told it like it is. >> what is very clear is that ambassador rice used the talking points that the intelligence committee had all signed off on. that is very, very clear. she used the unclassified talking points that were signed off on by the entire intelligence community. so criticisms of her are completely unwarranted. that is very clear. >> let me paraphrase president obama. could you say that a little louder, senator conrad? >> what is very clear is that ambassador rice used the unclassified talking points, the unclassified talking points that the entire intelligence community had signed off on. so she did completely the appropriately thing. >> it's amazing what happens in hearings, isn't it? the demeanor of the republican committee members after the hearing made it clear there's no bomb shell. check out john mccain. he was a pit bull all week. today a little different story. >> we described his actions and that of his agency and their interaction with other agencies and i appreciate the service and his candor. >> did he

credibility. >> okay. joining us right now is kent conrad, senator from north dakota. i guess you heard those views. what are your views on the issues raised on the antagonistic side? >> first of all, i have high regard for senator corker and senator collins, but there are others who have been strident voices against the ambassador that have been terribly unfair to her. what she said on those sunday talk shows was precisely what the intelligence community agreed to unanimously would be the unclassified version of events. it is entirely appropriate for the ambassador to rely on the intelligence community for what she says in public. what was said in a classified report would have been totally inappropriate for her to talk about on those sunday talk shows. so she is being pilloried and criticized for doing precisely what she should have done, which was to use the intelligence community's unclassified assessment of what occurred. >> well, they make the point, i've listened to all the complaints about her, the more dignified and the less dignified ones, and their argument seems to be she went on

the idea of pursuing the tax increases. >> kent conrad, he's a short timer, isn't he? we'll talk to him and see what he has to say. evan bayh or judd gregg, they're able to talk. >> right, when you're on your way out. >> and a couple of big pieces on the economic agenda this morning. weekly jobless claims and international trade at 8:30. also today freddie mac reporting on mortgage interest rates. and in europe, this is big, as well, interest rate decisions from the bank of england and the european central bank. most market participants are expecting the boe will leave rates on hold and make no changes to itses asset purchase program. decision is due at 7:00 eastern time. and then we'll hear from the ecb. draghi and company also seen keeping their right on hold. policymakers are ready to use a new bond purchase program as soon as spain asks for help and draghi will hold his normal news conference at 8:30 eastern time. >> we saw what happened to the market yesterday when he started talk. >> yesterday 2.3. p. >> 25% of the way there. but things could be -- a lot of people that came on lat

kent conrad, today's fiscal cliff talks and what he thinks should be the main parts of a deal. and a wireless networking firm that's taking on cisco is going public today. we'll talk with selina lo after the company's first trade. we'll have to see where we open. more "squawk on the street" is straight ahead. for many, nexium helps relieve heartburn symptoms caused by acid reflux disease. osteoporosis-related bone fractures and low magnesium levels have been seen with nexium. possible side effects include headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. other serious stomach conditions may still exist. talk to your doctor about nexium. well, having a ton of locations doesn't hurt. and my daughter loves the santa. oh, ah sir. that is a customer. let's not tell mom.

conrad sent a final deficit reduction plan would total about $5 trillion. >> red carpet interviews with nonfiction finalists. all online live tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. eastern. add your comments about the evening. >>he said building in medicare eligibility age in changing the formula for social security benefits could be part of the final deal. his remarks and the wall street journal's annual ceo council meeting are about 25 minutes. >> if there has been -- one of the most constructive conversation that has taken place in congress in the last couple of years has been a group of senators called the gang of six. we invited all six but due to various scheduling conflicts, we got one. senator kent conrad. they are negotiating in the back room. i would also point out senator kent conrad has been budget committee chairman and is retiring at the end of this year. senator, great to have you here. thank you very much. >> why don't we go back to the questions that take up on the first question that david asked? to set the context for this and get the mood of the business community. the you belie

will ask him to carry the burden of all six today. senator conrad will be interviewed by john vessey. they are negotiating in the back room. senator conrad was -- has been budget committee chairman. he is retiring at the end of this year. it is great to have you here. >> senator conrad, thank you very much. to the questions, the first question david asked to set the context and you a sense of the mood of the business community. do you believe there will be a constructive deal in congress before the end of the year? only 1/3 believe yes. 2/3 think we may go over the cliff unless there is an extension. let's go to the second question. if there is a deal, how are your investment plans likely to be affected? increase? decrease? stay the same. if we could get a quick vote on this. as everyone had a chance to vote? increase, decrease, stay the same. we will wait just a minute longer. senator conrad -- while we are waiting, senator conrad was not only a member of the gang of six but a member of the gang of eight, every gang tried to contend with -- we should look at your tats. probably have

behind closed doors tomorrow. joining me, kent conrad from north dakota, chairman of the senate budget committee, with the fiscal cliff looming ahead. start with benghazi and the intelligence hearings. what have you learned so far that it all clarifies the responsibility for potential intelligence failures before, dur, after the attack? >> you know, the hearing start is this afternoon at 2:30, another hearing tomorrow morning. so we've not yet had any testimony. i think what people are looking for is the time line. who knew what, when. what did we know was occurring? i think all of us understand that in these kinds of circumstances there's a certain fog, sometimes called the fog of war, obviously this is different than a typical war, but this is a terrorist attack. and certainly there was a certain amount of confusion among intelligence operatives. that's understandable. but we do need to know who knew what, when did they know it, and what did they do about it? >> what is david patreaus' responsibility for this? there is some suggestion that general clapper, the head -- director of nat

to look like robert conrad. >> or behind did a hunt. >> and wild, wild west. >> robert cobmad. >> and made by ross martin and the little midget that later killed himself. >> do you remember michael dunne played the evil midget in wild, eyewitness wild west. i believe it was kenneth brana and guy you are talking about. he was delight. >> michael dunne, played the midget. is this story real or fake. >> it's like the sign in china 'if this is true. it is clearly not. there is no more after this. but if it were true. >> i would say for you china needs tort reform in the worst way. >> the guy is yang fang and he got the hunk of chi. >> he can call on me. >> bill, the weird thing about bill. you had plastic surgery which means your spouse one day would be pleasantly surprised by your better attractive children. >> sadly the ugly as sin. i should have better taste in women. i love the sub text. this ruling could be bad for chinese women. i don't think so. when you got three chinese women to every 3,000 chinese men. nothing is going to be bad for them. if she stayed as litigate for them. it would

, there's a vanishing breed. you know that now. you've lost joe lieberman, richard lugar, kent conrad, me, olympia snowe. that group in the middle, it's vanishing and there are on both sides there are extremes as you all know kind of pushing back against the middle. i've always felt that that group in the middle is, quite frankly, the most powerful group because they're able to get to that 60-vote fleshhold and get things done so i'm hopeful we'll be a more tolerant, you know, open-minded party. >> there is speculation that brown could make another run for national if president obama names senator john kerry to his cabinet as a possible secretary of state or perhaps defense secretary. senator brown is also rumored to be a contender for massachusetts governor in 2014 but he insists his immediate future is focused outside of politics. >> my job is to make sure there is a smooth transition. there is not an opener for governor nor is there an opener for senator but there is an opening for a dad and a husband and that's the role that i want to play. >> by the way, senator brown added that his

conrad with negotiations on the fiscal cliff. >> c-span invites middle and high school students to send a message to the president through a short video. let president obama know what is the most important issue peak -- should consider in 2013 for a chance to win the grant -- grand prize of $5,000. open to students grades 6 through 12. the deadline is january 18, 2013. for complete details and rules, go online to studentcam.org./ the "wall street cuts" ceo council is -- wall street journal ceo council is hosting its annual discussion about the so-called fiscal cliff were automatic cuts will take place unless congress acts. chris van hollen indorse is a deficit package. this is 30 minutes. >> thank you. it is great to have you here. we have had people for the last 24 hours giving their opinions on the fiscal cliff and the fiscal cliff negotiations and what should happen. we are expecting you now to tell us exactly what is happening. >> listen, i think we all need to accomplish two things as we approach the fiscal cliff. one, do everything we can to avoid it both in terms of the sequester

are the services? >> let me give an example. today we're here to talk about the conrad concierge. we're offering a terrific hole in seoul and launching the conrad concierge. yesterday i was in my office in mclean, virginia. i booked valet service for last night to make sure that my suits were all pressed. i ordered my wake-up call, my room service and i did it all on my iphone. >> so you didn't even have to talk to anyone, other than siri. >> but i had a few minutes, so i scheduled it. it's a lot different than a lot of the other hotel companies are you can communicate to a front desk staff. this baby is hot wired, so anything you need is hot wired, it goes directly to the valet, goes directly to room service. >> and i can trust -- i always get nervous if i even leave a wake-up call on the machine. it definitely goes through. >> a text message back to you to make sure that you're all set. so 75% to 80% of travel is done either through the internet or a mobile device. 38% is booked through a mobile device. but nobody has taken it past the front door where it's totally hot wired. and then you get

on immigration reform. and a big concession when it comes to taxes. kent conrad says democrats are throwing around mitt romney's idea to raise taxes on the rich by capping deductions. the chairman of the house republican conference says the willingness to all of a sudden work together boils down to timing. according to congressman deb hesterly, compromise works best after an election. ladies, thank you for joining me. you heard the comment there that bipartisanship works best after elections. i don't know if that's full proof because you have paul ryan saying that the american people voted for a divided government. seeing power in the house and a democrat in the white house. >> we have to make this work now and a few years ago, you would have heard them saying, no, we can't compromise. we're going to have to stick to our guns. i think this was a real shellacking for the republicans. now you're hearing all of 2016 people walking it back. all of the tea party types saying not all of them, but some of them who want to run for president saying i think we need to scale this back. we can't dumb i

yourself to a senator, thinking alike, who would it be? >> it would be kent conrad. that's no surprise to you. kent and i have been friend as long time. he encouraged me to make this run. he cares about the deficit like no one cares about the deficit in this country. i intend to pick up that mantle and deal with farm bill and help our stay become busy. >> heidi being good luck to you. thank you. and she's a friend of mine. you can tell. >> thank, ed. >> coming up, i'll show the fat deniers. and as we head to new york break, one of the great hashi harbingers.

. we had the judd gregg kent conrad. we know it. it has been doing something with actual tax revenues. mitt romney proved during the campaign you cannot do it just by doctoring up the tax code. that should be part of the deal. we need to have tax reform, we have to have the people that have done so well during the difficult time with the economy, the richest of the rich will have to pay a little bit more to solve the idea of the problems of the country. -- to solve the financial problems of this country. >> good afternoon, everyone. as we head into the fiscal cliff negotiations, my advice to the president would be -- seems like our friends on the other side are having difficulty turning off the campaign. we need to sit down and work this matter out. i think we have a clear sense of the year to do something important for the country. we all know that the most critical steps to be taken are to save the entitlements, which are on an unsustainable path to bankruptcy. there's no better time to begin to fix that problem than right now. so i would hope our friends on the other side can kind

is how much money can you get. >> not that much. >> and the other option, and i talked to kent conrad about this ten days ago or so when carl quintanilla and i were on the white house north lawn doing interviews. >> right before you were arrested. >> what? >> no, i'm kidding. get off of the -- what are you doing there, you snuck on there? you're allowed. go ahead. i threw you for a loop. go ahead. >> conrad. you've been there. conrad was talking about the possibility of leaving the individual marginal rates untouched but going up on cap gains and dividends. there are different combinations. >> i know. >> again the president in his news conference said -- >> so many times. >> -- you can do it without raising the marginal rate. >> he said i'll veto any bill that doesn't let them expire on 250 and above. he said that so many times. why keep saying that. >> he said it. but -- >> he talked about doing that in isolation. in other words if they get day deal that obviates any veto talk. the question is what are the elements of a deal. >> i thought he said any bill, "i will veto any bill that

on election night. and in north dakota, long-time democratic senator kent conrad is retiring. republicans appear to have the edge in this race. gop needs four seats to take control of the senate. unless mitt romney wins the presidency. in that case, republicans only need three seats because as sitting vice president, paul ryan would cast the high-breaking vote for control of the senate. >> many thanks. eamon. >>> coming up, obama's midwest firewall may be cracking. can romney's running mate deliver his home state of texas in the badger state senator ron johnson's going to join us next. >>> everyone easily favorite conservative columnist is ann coulter. why does she believe romney is still going to carry the day? but when i was in an accident... i was worried the health care system spoke a language all its own with unitedhealthcare, i got help that fit my life. information on my phone. connection to doctors who get where i'm from. and tools to estimate what my care may cost. so i never missed a beat. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. that's healt

senator conrad talked about he was receptive to open-minded about this capping of deductions at the higher income level. that's one way to go at it. so that was really the thought behind the piece. >> guys, did you ever have a tree stump on your lawn you just had to get rid of so you got your neighbors all together and start hacking away and finally you had to pull the damn thing out? think of mitch mcconnell as that tree stump. there he is in the way of you cutting the lawn. he shouldn't be there. he's not growing. he's not getting any better. today mitch mcconnell did not signal a big surprise he was ready to compromise. the tree stump ain't moving. let's listen. >> the time for the president to lead is now, and that means offering a concrete plan that takes into account the fact that half the congress opposes tax hikes. not because we're selfish, not because we're stubborn, but we know it is the wrong thing to do. we know it will hurt the economy, and we know it will destroy jobs. >> you know, the nonsense behind that, guys, is that if you go by who we elect to congress deciding our nat

conrad's trip up all the way, as far as we can go. it's an amazing counted. security is a concern there. myanmar, where we're going shortly. i imagine security shouldn't be a problem, but it will be an intense situation for sure. i don't know. i like learning, and you are forced to learn -- u.s. a very steep and fast learning curve when you are dropped into a country you have never been before and there aren't that many countries i haven't been before, so i think we can look forward to doing some more challenging locations. >> the love of all things culinary, where did that come from? >> i think my family was food centric. i grew up in the madmen era. my parents were unusually attuned to food. my father had been born in france. but i was a chef. i was a professional dish washer, cook, line cook, and chef for almost three decades, so it's -- it was my life. >> let's take a short break. when we come back, i want to put this question to you, and just this question. you just had an hour left to live, what meal would you want? where would you have it? can be anywhere, restaurant, beach, any

, who would it be? >> it would be kent conrad. that's no surprise to you. kent and i have been friends for a long time. he encouraged me to make this run. he cares about the deficit like no one cares about the deficit in this country. i intend to pick up that mantle and deal with the farm bill and energy policy and help our state become successful. >> former tax commissioner, former attorney general, mom, survivor of cancer. you've got quite a resume. heidi, good luck to you. thank you. >> thanks, ed. >> you bet. >> and she's a friend of mine. you can tell. >>> coming up, republicans just can't handle the truth. but the people have spoken. i'll show the fact deniers, just what this year's election results really mean. >>> and as we head to break, one of the great harbingers of the holiday season has arrived here at 30 rock in new york city. rockefeller center. it's an 80-footer, folks. it's a norway, all the way from the great state of new jersey. and seeing that i have some producers on staff from new jersey, i can call it a great state. 'tis the season. you're watching "the ed show"

raised this with chairman conrad, our chairman of the budget committee on which i'm ranking member, and he and his staff have looked at it and they've certified that this budget violation actually occurs. therefore, the legislation is subject to a budget point of order. it cannot go forward because it violates the budget. now, if that's raised and at some point i guess i would expect to do that, if we raise this budget point of order which will be -- will happen, then my colleagues will have a choice. they can either fix the difficulty with the budget and place the bill on a sound financial path, or they can say, well, we don't pay any attention to that objection, we'll waive the budget and just spend more than the budget allowed because this is really important. it's really important in effect that we raise revenue and spend more on the duck program. which i've been supportive of, and the duck stamps fund and that kind of thing. so -- but it's not the right way to do this. and if you're going to spend more money, you need to reduce the spending somewhere else and your net line sho

conrad, many other senators that we spoke to yesterday, said that the problem was is that some of the information that talked about the nature of the attacks, the terrorist nature of the attacks was classified. susan rice said what she could say, what she was told to say by the intelligence community when she made that appearance. so a little air taken out of the balloon yesterday, no question about it. but i don't think we've heard the last of this controversy, alex. >> certainly we're going to pick up with it with colonel jack jacobs right now. okay the back and forth here. the gop suggesting, colonel, that the discrepancy in testimony is the result of political motivation. you've got the white house saying, no, this is because of genuine national security concern. where do you lie on that? >> most of the people i talked to say that there was incontrovertible evidence that this was a premedicated attack at benghazi and that the white house, towards the end of a very, very difficult campaign, political campaign, for the presidency, stripped away that notion and instead present

we heard on friday from senators conrad and feinstein, saying that rice was really only saying what she was told she could say from the c.i.a.? >> that's right. she appears to have followed talking points from the c.i.a., which were wrong. the talking points said that what happened in libya, that terrible tragedy was a spontaneous protest, hked by extremists. the problem was the information was incorrect. it was actually a premeditated terrorist attack. as the c.i.a. now acknowledges. that's an issue, it should be debated and fully discussed. i don't know that it is so terribly disqualifying, the way senators mccain and graham have made it out to be. as to say this woman is not qualified to be secretary of state. that's a very different issue. >> lynn, what do you think? you wrote about the issue and you say that the president, the roots go very deep with rice here. the commitment to rice, is very strong with the president and rice. >> right, and he is going to go to mat for her. they, you know, she was with him when he was running for the senate back in 2005. and her support when h

conrad, former governor bill richardson, ed schultz and then the gre owe's perry bacon, democratic strategist keith boykin and alice stewart. that was the lid of my pen. no big deal. "now" with alex wagner is coming up next. hi, alex. >> hey, thomas. we are waiting on the president and his remarks in the meantime it's a hashtall my 2 k kind of a day as the white house pushes its plans to extend middle-class tax cuts the gop calling out president obama for campaigning while republicans campaign. we will look at the campaign 3.0 with "victory lab" technician and author sasha isenberg. some democrats say it's okay to take a dive. we'll ask senator patty murray why she agrees with that when she joins us and republicans want answers from ambassador susan rice. what are they really asking? we will discuss that when "now" starts in a mere 180 seconds. t - more washington gridlock. no, it's worse -- look, our taxes are about to go up. not the taxes on our dividends though, right? that's a big part of our retirement. oh, no, it's dividends, too. the rate on our dividends would more than dou

't been able to get there yet? >> i'm obsessed going up the congo river and retracing conrad's steps. so much of the history of the world has either overlapped or taken place directly in the jonjon congo. >> is it hard? >> yes. i've tried numerous times and for various security reasons it's been impossible. >> anthony, you had said also back in the day about the book about check out the bathrooms. i literally started to check out the bathrooms. now you changed on that too. you said a dirty bathroom is no big idea. >> it was a new york centric book. since then i've traveled all over the world. so many of the greatest meals of the world especially in southeast asia have been in places with filthy bathrooms. the presence of livestock or chickens in the dining room is often a mark of a good meal. >> anthony bourdain thank you very much. norah, see you monday. >> good to see you guys. >> that want does it for us. as we leave you let's take a look back at the week that was. have a great weekend. >> should he have resigned? he heads the biggest intelligence agency we have. it's perfectly proper

. >> and heidi highcamp, the democrat in north dakota, the state that had byron dorgan and kent conrad forever forever, in a deep red state, was leading last time i checked. it's remarkable. >> ifill: the gender caution displood there were 17 going into the election. and there were some organizations who follow the women elected officials who were say it could get up to above 20. i haven't seen aically claigz yet. >> ifill: can i also say as we wait to hear-- that's heidi heitkamb, we're waiting to hear from the president and waiting to hear from mitt romney there's an electric detail reported from fox news. apparently part of the delay may be that karl rove on the air is saying he believes ohio is far from settled, and even fox news' call was premature. if that's being taken to heart somewhere deep inside the bowels of the romney headquarters-- >> woodruff: but we also said once colorado and nevada was called, there was no other route for governor romney-- displen our map still takes us where it takes us. >> the last count in virginia, president obama is ahead by 60,000 votes. the associated

, saxby chambliss, we have kent conrad, who is still there, and dick durbin, and mark warner, and they have added another democrat who i will think of before we're done here. michael bennett. they have been working with a total of 40 senators, 20 on each side, who have been participating on and off to pull all this together. the framework is the same framework that we have had from all of these groups. it is a total of $4 trillion in debt reduction over 10 years, somewhere between $1 trillion and $1.30 trillion the coming of the revenue side, and then a balance of defense, discretionary, domestic, and entitlements. probably including, as we saw the negotiations with boehner and obama, social security in the next, although you had a lot of democrats who are pushing against that, and there was a big at in "the washington post" today laying out their markets. is much more the procedural hangups that keeping them from reaching that there. you will see a white house emissaries, probably jack lew, trying to pull it altogether. there is your doubt in my mind that they reach an agree

sector has just gone crazy good. heitcamp says she is confident, she won the seat vacated by lien conrad. there is a possible raupb recount for that state. martha: the nation almost split down the middle in the popular vote and one former clinton administration member saying that he hoped that president obama when he came out last night would address that division in his victory speech. here is lanny davis. >> barack obama is going to have to be humble. he's going to have to see that the needle hasn't moved since 2000 from a red-blue 50-50 nation and he's got to govern differently in his second term and say so tonight with humility. he has a great victory in the electorial college, but he faces this split and he's got to reach across the aisle as governor romney said. martha: now here is part of the president's speech from last night. >> in the coming weeks and months i am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together, reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves

. >> what other top seats are changing hands? >> another big one is budget committee. kent conrad is also retiring. patty murray is up for that seat. we say she is the favorite, and i agree. i do think there is a possibility she does not take it. last time i talk to her people but they told me that she had not made a decision yet. you have to realize, when she took the dscc job back in 2010 when harry reid twisted her arm, almost breaking it, to take the job, she basically got him to get her the veterans affairs panel. and this has been a pet issue of hers for her entire career. she is so committed to veterans issues that i am a little skeptical about whether or not she would want to give that up and do a thankless job like budget committee chairman -- jeff sessions will tell you until he is blue in the face -- democrats have not done a budget in about three years. unless there is a real commitment on the part of harry reid to do a budget in the next year, if he really wants to be serious about that, i don't know what decision she ends up making. >> she did not have too much fun chairing

with going up the congo river and retracing conrad's steps. there is so much history of the world is either overlapped with or taken place directly in the congo. that's the show i want to make above all others. >> is it hard too do it? >> yes. it is very -- i've tried numerous times and for various security reasons, it's been impossible. >> anthony, you said also back in the day about the book about check out the bathrooms before. i literally started checking out the bath roomrooms. you say a dirty bathroom is no big deal? >> it was such a new york central bik. since that time i traveled around the world. i have the greatest meals of my life, particularly in southeast asia and developing nations have been in places with absolutely filthy bathrooms. i say the presence of livestock or chickens in the dining room is often the mark of a good meal. >> thank you very much. the book "kitchen confidential," nora, see you monday. >> good to see you guys. >> that does it for us. as we leave you, let's take a look back at the week that was. have a great weekend. >> should he have resigned? >> i think

. we've had old simpsons, the judd gregg kent conrad. we know it is held them up every time and that's been doing something with actual tax revenue. as romney proved during the campaign come you can't do it by doc tureen of the tax code. that should be part of the deal. when he took tax tax reform. we have to have people who have done so well during this difficult time we've had. the richest of the rich have to pay a little bit more to solve financial problems in this country. [inaudible conversations] >> now the senate republican leader, mitch mcconnell. he also spoke to leaders of the c. in any event should include changes to entitlement programs. >> at afternoon, everyone. as we head into the fiscal cliff negotiations, my advice to the president with eocene friends on the other side have difficulty turning off the campaign. we need to sit down and work this matter out. i think we have a clear sense there is an opportunity at the end of the year to do something important for the country. we all know that the most critical steps to be taken are to save the entitlements, which are on
